A. The relationship between the height and initial velocity is given in the equation,
                          d = ((Vi)² - (Vf)²) / 2g
Vf for this case is zero and g is equal to 32.2 ft/s². Substituting,
                            560 ft = (Vi)² / (2)(32.2)
The value of Vi is equal to 189.91 ft/s.
b. For the time, the equation is,
                            d = 0.5gt²
Substituting,
                           560 ft = 0.5(32.2)(t²)
The value of t is 5.90 s.

(a) The initial speed of the water is 190 ft/s

(b) It takes 5.90 s for the water to reach the top of the fountain

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

\large {\boxed {a = \frac{v - u}{t} } }

\large {\boxed {d = \frac{v + u}{2}~t } }

<em>a = acceleration (m / s²)v = final velocity (m / s)</em>

<em>u = initial velocity (m / s)</em>

<em>t = time taken (s)</em>

<em>d = distance (m)</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

<u>Given:</u>

h = 560 ft

g = 32.2 ft/s²

<u>Unknown:</u>

u = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

At the maximum height, the speed is 0 ft/s

<h2>Question a:</h2>

v^2 = u^2 - 2gh

0^2 = u^2 - 2 \times 32.2 \times 560

u^2 = 36064

u = \sqrt{36064}

\large {\boxed {u \approx 190 ~ ft/s} }

<h2>Question b:</h2>

v = u - gt

0 = \sqrt{36064} - 32.2t

t = \sqrt{36064} \div 32.2

\large {\boxed {t \approx 5.90 ~ s} }

Bob walks 370 m south, then jogs 410 m southwest, then walks 370 m in a direction 28 degrees east of north.
wlad13 [49]
We will measure all angles from West, the negative x-axis and divide the journey into 3 parts:
P1 = 370y
P2 = 410cos(45)x + 410sin(45)y = 290x + 290y
P3 = 370cos(270 - 28)x + 370sin(270 - 28) = -174x - 327y

Overall displacement:
x = 290 - 174 = 116 m
y = 370 + 290 - 327 = 333 m

displacement = √(116² + 333²)
= 353 m

Direction:
tan(∅) = y/x
∅ = tan⁻¹ (333 / 116)
∅ = 70.8° from West.

A flexible shaft consists of a 3 mm diameter steel wire in a flexible hollow tube which imposes a frictional torque of 0.04 N m
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

2.5m

Explanation:

Torque is defined as the rotational effect of a force on a body.

The torque T for the maximum shear stress is given as 0.1 Nm

Frictional torque is the torque caused by a frictional force

The frictional torque F is given as 0.04 Nm/m

The maximum length of the shaft is thus given as

L = T / F

  = 0.1/0.04

L= 2.5 m
